Web: http://www.ase.org; http://www.munee.org Background USAID and the Alliance to Save Energy, in cooperation with their partners in the region, launched an initiative for developing a regional network for the promotion of energy efficiency at the municipal level. The goal of the Municipal Network for Energy Efficiency is to design and implement innovative energy efficiency policies and identify barriers to their successful adoption; and to strengthen the capacity of regional and municipal stakeholders to develop, and attract financing for, energy efficiency projects in the countries of Central and Southeastern Europe, the Balkans, the Central Asian Republics, Russia, and the former Soviet Union. The Network or MUNEE is functioning as an ongoing forum to share successful results of energy efficiency program development and implementation, and to address targeted policy areas critical to the success of energy efficiency investments in the region. Since the year 2000 the USAID Mission funded Municipal Network for Energy Efficiency (MUNEE) Program in Armenia, which has worked on different levels including promotion of national energy policy reform, municipal energy efficiency capacity building and residential energy and heat efficiency awareness programs. The activities implemented and some key accomplishments by the Alliance to Save Energy under the MUNEE program during 2002-2005 in Armenia are presented further in the present report covering: Policy Reform Condominium EE and Heating Education and Awareness Campaign Outreach to Cities/Strengthening the Municipal Energy Efficiency Network in Armenia For questions and comments contact: Alliance To Save Energy - Armenia 31-77a Moskovian St., Yerevan 375002 Tel/Fax.
